Mendelian Laws of Inheritance
This document discusses Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance based on his experiments breeding pea plants. It defines key genetic terms and describes Mendel's three laws: 1) The Law of Dominance states that one allele is dominant over the recessive allele. 2) The Law of Segregation states that alleles segregate and pass to offspring independently during gamete formation. 3) The Law of Independent Assortment states that different genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation. Mendel's laws established basic principles of heredity and laid the foundation for genetics.
